napamule2 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 For those that want to pin-point co-ordinates at any exact point on a map (to guide you) here is a link that is actually for earthquakes but on lower right corner will show the co-ordinates at where ever you place your mouse pointer. Just a tool if you need to know the co-ordinates of an airport, a mountain, or even your house. Link: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ . Save as a bookmark. That way it is easy to access anytime. Pause Sim, go online, hit bookmark and get info. Convert as needed, then enter it into Sim 'Map' co-ordinates and go there. Ha! Chuck B Napamule Edit: Oh, go into settings (gear - top right) and scroll down and choose 'Terraim', etc. i7 2600K @ 3.4 Ghz (Turbo-Boost to 3.877 Ghz), Asus P8H67 Pro, Super Talent 8 Gb DDR3/1333 Dual Channel, XFX Radeon R7-360B 2Gb DDR5, Corsair 650 W PSU, Dell 23 in (2048x1152), Windows7 Pro 64 bit, MS Sidewinder Precision 2 Joy, Logitech K-360 wireless KB & Mouse, Targus PAUK10U USB Keypad for Throttle (F1 to F4)/Spoiler/Tailhook/Wing Fold/Pitch Trim/Parking Brake/Snap to 2D Panel/View Change.

lnuss Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Nice, thanks. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 This is even better. I use it with my real-life GPS. http://mapper.acme.com/ And if you want to see the coordinates in the Sim just hit Shift + Z. You can Shift + Z multiple times. In the second instance you'll get your FPS. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

loki Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Google and Bing maps will also give the exact coordinates of a point on a map too. With Bing Maps they give you the option to copy the lat/long coordinates when right clicking on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
